## Quote — verbatim

> You're getting high quality, really high quality bare metal servers for next to nothing. I hope these prices will stay the way they are, but I think right off the bat we're looking for like two to three x lower than the market... this is bare metal, so there's nothing in the middle — you're just getting raw performance that is not possible on the cloud today.
